Requirement
VM Server requires the following software packages and their
dependencies.
• kernel-xen
• xen
• xen-tools
• xen-tools-ioemu (This package is required for hardware-
assisted full-virtualization mode.)
• kernel-xenpae (Used instead of kernel-xen, this package
enables 32-bit computers to use physical address exten-
sions to access memory over 4GB.)
VM Server can run VM-aware operating systems on computers
with x86 32-bit or 64-bit architectures.
VM Server can run VMs in full virtualization mode only on
computers that support hardware-assisted virtualization, such
as Intel VT or AMD Virtualization.
In addition to the memory required for SUSE Linux, add the
amount of memory required for all planned virtual machines.
In addition to the disk space required for SUSE Linux, addi-
tional disk space might be required, depending on the needs
of each VM.
